Ensures that applications run reliably on a cloud environment and support chaining multiple applications together
In Logic Apps, it supports AJAX and jQuery as commands to filter out to input the parameter. But regular expressions in general aren't supported well. So, I recommend that Logic Apps could be enhanced by supporting regular expressions (RegEx) more comprehensively . That would be a great improvement. RegEx expressions are useful when running an EXE, and you must provide parameters, like running it for June 2024. You need to feed some information to Logic Apps. I want to tell the program to take the current month and year. For that, you need to use date functions. Using regular expressions in general is also possible by manipulating strings, which is currently missing.

An integration tool that is highly compatible and easy to maintain
Dealing with the large file sizes has occasionally been a challenge, though we have found workarounds. But dealing with large file sizes could be easy in integrations. I have also come across schema files where headers, footers, and bodies are there, but it's not a valid schema. None of the MSCAs are defined properly. In such cases, we have to think of multiple workarounds, such as splitting or merging. But this is a standard requirement for organizations, so custom solutions should be provided. There are cases when the systems don't expect additional MSCAs, or they expect headers, footers, or tags with different values. But this is not a proper XML. So if we are dealing with XML conversions, mapping, and integrations, we have to do some custom work. These are solutions that Oracle can provide.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product’s most valuable feature is integration."
"We mainly used it to integrate SAP, ServiceNow, and different third-party APIs with the front end."
"Logic Apps is good for helping us run our access on a cloud environment like Azure. It's much easier, more reliable, and better to maintain."
"The solution has plenty of good valuable features and a plethora of services."
"One special aspect of Azure Logic Apps is its easy integration of various applications, especially when connectors are already available. For instance, there are connectors for database applications and systems like SAP. You can drag and drop the connectors to complete your integration quickly."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a nine out of ten, with ten being easy to set up."
"If there's something that isn't possible, you can write some code and call that code from a Logic App."
"The design is highly beneficial. It functions as a sandbox environment."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is its ease of use. We do not depend on any tool to develop it. Everything is on the browser and is easy to integrate, even for someone who does not understand a lot about coding."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is its performance."
"The Oracle integration tool is the most comfortable tool for using those Oracle products."
"In our customers' organizations, Oracle Integration Cloud Service mainly integrates their other applications with the Oracle Fusion stack. It's very handy in scenarios where they want to seamlessly maintain data flow between applications, with business tools and logic validations in place."
"The product's initial setup phase is simple."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the SFTP adapters, file adapters, and risk adapters, that we use in everyday projects."
"Oracle Integration Cloud Service offers a lot of adaptors."
"In general, there were a lot of great utilities for working with files."
 

Cons

"The scalability could be improved."
"The business rules engine is still not fully developed, and it would be very helpful to see improvements here."
"In Logic Apps, it supports AJAX and jQuery as commands to filter out to input the parameter. But regular expressions in general aren't supported well. So, I recommend that Logic Apps could be enhanced by supporting regular expressions (RegEx) more comprehensively ."
"It would be helpful if the vendor could provide more data connectors."
"Not all connectors are readily available, though. There are two types: managed connectors and app connectors. Some connectors require you to provide a username and password to connect to platforms like SharePoint or Salesforce. Due to security constraints, some users may prefer not to use these connectors. Instead, they might opt for the HTTP connector."
"The pricing could be improved."
"Pricing and handling asynchronous processes are the two main areas that need improvement."
"The stability of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is stable. However, we have had some issues in the past. They do resolve issues that arise from new releases."
"They need to make tools framework available for implementation partners"
"Oracle needs to ensure that some of the most commonly used types of consumption or services are bundled—for every industry."
"Oracle-based automation blueprints for the majority of the integrations would be helpful to have in a future release."
"The solution's customer service could be better."
"Now the platform is not built in a way that you can define."
"I have faced situations where the solution has gone down for five to seven minutes, which is an issue if it happens in the live production environment."
"The support and resources were lacking — they weren't there."
"With JSON, if the tool provides support similar to XML, then it would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Azure Logic Apps could be costly if a user isn't careful. The costs associated with the solution could still be improved."
"The tool’s pricing could be better."
"In my experience, Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is not a cheap solution."
"Compared to the prices of Mulesoft, the price of Microsoft Azure Logic Apps is low."
"The tool's cost can vary depending on your specific use case. Generally, it's considered cheaper, but the price depends on how much you use it and which features you need. Initially, there was a consumption-based pricing model, but now Microsoft offers a standard tier. Microsoft encourages users to migrate from the consumption model to the standard one by 2025. The pricing is a monthly fixed cost, depending on your usage needs."
"I rate Microsoft Azure Logic Apps's pricing a seven out of ten."
"The licensing is cheaper because, compared to other services, Azure services are much cheaper and affordable."
"Logic Apps is cheap with its pay-as-you-go model. We only pay for usage time, no license fees. So Logic Apps is good in that aspect."
"The price is fair."
"The solution is cost-effective."
"Oracle uses a universal credit model for OCI. Clients commit to an annual budget and can choose which products to use and build during their contract period. Billing is based on consumption - you're only billed for the products you use."
"It specifies how much data you use and how much storage you require, among other things."
"Its pricing is relatively lower than other vendors."
"In the case of Oracle Integration Cloud, costs can be "predictable" as far as the platform and infrastructure are concerned."
"Pricing is not on the economic side since it is a tool for enterprise-sized companies."
"The price of Oracle Integration Cloud Service is reasonable to start with, but when you scale it becomes expensive."
